Our offering complements the Detected platform by bringing trusted global business intelligence and credit risk data into a modern, flexible verification experience. While Detected excels at creating a smooth, user-friendly onboarding journey with dynamic data capture and enterprise case management, Creditsafe provides the depth of insight needed to validate businesses, assess risk, and support compliance at scale.

The market is moving towards faster, automated decision-making that allows teams to manage risk in real-time and meet changing regulations.

With Creditsafe’s Connect integration with Detected, customers can gain access to global company information, consumer credit data, ID verification, anti-money laundering (AML), PEP and Sanction checks all through a single API to automate and improve your client onboarding and monitoring process.
